Former Wales captain Jonathan Davies has claimed that the late Jonah Lomu made an "impact" on rugby union like no other player.
The New Zealand legend died in Auckland on Tuesday night at the age of 40.
Lomu, who struggled with a kidney problem for years, never won a World Cup in his career, but is deemed one of the sport's greats after scoring 43 international tries for the All Blacks.
"No-one has ever made such an impact on the game," Davies told BBC Radio 5 live. "When he first came on the international stage he was incredible. We'd never seen the likes of him before.
"He opened up the game to new markets. There were computer games made after seeing him play. I don't think anyone will ever make that impact that Jonah Lomu made when he came on the scene."
Lomu is survived by his wife Nadene and their two young sons Brayley, six, and five-year-old Dhyreille.
